I realize that it is an integral part of fedora and debian (gross), but
it is a serious security hole and qubes should consider migrating away
from it by maybe choosing another orgin distro.

"The Linux kernel, I believe, is clean. As long as Linus lives, you're
not going to subvert the kernel. Let's just assume that is true for the
sake of argument. If you can't get into the kernel, what is your next
option? You need something low level (PID 1?), ubiquitous, and vast in
scope and complexity.
This describes systemd perfectly. It was almost like it was designed to
touch as much of a Linux system as possible. It has hooks into some many
different subsystems and APIs that it's almost impossible to build a
modern distro with current software without pulling in systemd as a
dependency. This happened almost overnight, and I think there are
malicious forces at work here."
Assuming that it is the NSA is unimaginative, it could be literally be
any combination of interests that are doing this - who wouldn't desire
absolute control and absolute power over 99% of linux systems?

I am tired of the "virtualization will protect you!" excuse, it only
goes so far and some systemD issues such as using google DNS by default
are simply inexcusable from a qubes perspective (designed to be a secure
OS, but phoning home like that without asking isn't secure at all)
Linux is about choice, but now the incompetent lennart and red hat are
choosing for you - they are more qualified to make that decision and are
doing it for your own good.
